Thanks for the link, the water drop with the reverse lens look great ... however my own attempts before buying a "real" macro lens were less than mediocre, I learned that a) for this you want the lens to be as wide as possible, 50mm doesn't cut it and b) the iq of the 50/1.8 is not good enough. The best lens for this method probably is a old-school, sharp wide angle lens with manually lockable aperture.

No thanks for the link - it's no fun to see someone putting your "real" macro lens photos to shame with a setup like this . Just kidding, of course, and thanks for sharing the interesting link and cool photos.

Remember these are web-sized images, at least my reverse 50/1.8 shots immediately fell apart when zooming in, making the 100 non-L superior even though the reverse setup had a higher nominal magnification. And if you use a good wide angle lens that results in enough reverse sharpness you'll come into $$$ regions of a "real" macro lens, with proper af and all

Good to know ... thanks for sharing.
